Teachers' T-Shirts Bring Bush Speech Ouster by kgw.com Portland, Or and AP Staff, via commondreams
The women said they were angered by reports of peaceful protesters being thrown out of previous Bush-Cheney events. They said they chose the phrase, 'Protect Our Civil Liberties,' because it was unconfrontational.
'We chose this phrase specifically because we didn't think it would be offensive or degrading or obscene,' said Tania Tong, 34, a special education teacher.
The women got past the first and second checkpoints and were allowed into the Jackson County fairgrounds, but were asked to leave and then escorted out of the event by campaign officials who allegedly told them their T-shirts were 'obscene.'------------------------------------------- posted 9:13 AM :: reference link ::
